Pros

If you work for their corporate office they have great perks like an onsite cafe, full gym and a message therapist that comes once a week.

Cons

Middle management could use a major overhaul. The company goes through reorgs way too often which creates a lot of uneasiness within the organization.

Pros

Really great learning opportunity--SVB works with some of the most innovative companies in both tech and life science. Vertical and horizontal mobility across the bank, provided that you work hard and show face. Nice people with a great culture.

Cons

Salary not competitive with other banks. Lack of transparency in the promotion process. Company in scaling, but is slow to hire additional employees, which affects the work/life balance of associates and VPs.
